The two of them clung to the shadow of the wall, while two armored figures holding giant axes quickly walked out from the corner of the corridor, carrying a ferocious and violent aura, and strode forward without looking back.
He didn't turn his head to look to the side at all.
Obviously at this moment, the two sides were only one pillar apart, and this narrow wall pillar did not completely cover their figures.
But those two giant axes are like a funny plot in a comic. As long as the target disappears in front of your eyes, no matter where the opponent is hiding, you will never be able to find it again, and you will just rush forward to pursue it.
After the "click" sound faded away, the traveling poet's tense nerves relaxed a little.
He lowered his head and looked at the girl in front of him. The metal sheet that was stopped in time scratched the skin of the girl's neck. Scarlet blood seeped out from the wound and blended with the walnut-colored hair hanging beside him.
The girl is no longer wearing the heavy and complicated gorgeous pagoda skirt, but is wearing a simple and smart riding outfit, with her long curly hair tied into a ponytail.
"Sorry." The traveling poet put away the metal sheet in his hand.
"Why are you here? Didn't I say that the castle is very dangerous at night?" Xu Shuo looked confused and asked this question first.
"..."
"And you got yourself hurt."
"..."
The traveling poet looked away slightly guiltily.
However, the wound on his body was still bleeding. Seeing this, Xu Shuo didn't ask any more questions. He glanced sideways at the situation in the corner aisle, and then pulled him out of the shadows.
If you listen carefully, you can still faintly hear the distinct metal collision sound of knight armor walking in the distance.
Looking up and looking outside, you can still see figures occasionally flashing through the corridors of the castle.
Those knight armors seemed to be scattered throughout the castle.
Xu Shuo did not take the right path. He opened the door of the next room and went in. Then he went out from the side door of this room and walked onto the flying buttress. After going around several paths, the two successfully returned to the main hall of the main building of the castle.
The third floor is the palace where he currently lives. In addition to the main entrance, you can also enter through a side door that is almost integrated with the wall.
The castle is designed like a maze.
"I'll bandage it for you."
The traveling poet sat on the chair, looked up at the girl, turned around and took out the medicine box from the cabinet.
He paused and asked, "What are those knight-like armors?"
Xu Shuo came over carrying a heavy wooden medicine box inlaid with gold and sat on the chair opposite him. Hearing this, he said, "They are the guards in the castle. They will come out to patrol every night."
"I've never seen them before...and they look so strange," the traveling poet said in an aside.
"They have been here as long as I can remember. They would stay in the basement of the castle during the day. My sister thought they were ugly, so she only allowed them to come out at night."
"..."
What a powerful reason to dislike.
Xu Shuo had already untied the clothes on his injured left shoulder. Blood and cloth were stuck together, but after cleaning up the dirt, he found that the wound on his shoulder was not serious.
The arrow pierced his entire shoulder. Logically, there should be a bloody hole here, but now there was only a scar that was torn apart.
It's just that the blood infection looks a little more ferocious, but it's actually far less serious.
"Your injury..." Seeing this, Xu Shuo showed doubts at the right time.
The traveling poet looked down and said without changing his expression: "I have relatively good recovery ability, so these injuries are actually nothing."
Moreover, the flesh and blood on other parts of the body that were scratched by spears have already healed immediately, except for the puncture wound on the shoulder, which is more serious and is still bleeding.
But when he came, Xu Shuo still bandaged him.
The traveling poet did not refuse and allowed the other party to move, only watching the girl in front of him quietly.
She lowered her head slightly, her face was calm and cold, her walnut-colored hair hanging down on both sides of her face, reflecting the bloodless pale skin, and the depths of her dark eyes were like whirlpools.
After staring for a long time, I felt an inexplicable dizziness.
Then, he seemed to smell the fragrance of roses lingering around him, which was quiet and refreshing, but also particularly desirable.
The traveling poet slightly shifted his gaze and looked at the window sill not far away.
There were a lot of flowers there, and the red moonlight fell on the windowsill, making the already bright red roses even more dazzling, as if they were emitting a faint light.
"The roses on the shelves fill the yard with fragrance, and scarlet blooms among the thorns."
"ah?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Shuo, who was considering tying a bow tie or a dead knot, paused slightly, then looked up at him in confusion.
The traveling poet's expression froze and he said with embarrassment: "Sorry, I'm reading poetry."
Xu Shuo: "...Oh."
I heard that your codename is Traveling Poet, and it turns out you really know how to read poetry...
The traveling poet never imagined that he would be able to recite poetry.
Just now, his brain twitched, and the character's memories came to his mind along with his emotions, and then he read out a meaningless poem.
This is the sequelae of character cards.
Xu Shuo tied the bandage tightly, and the traveling poet's wound had been bandaged, but the scene seemed to have become awkward because of that suddenly embarrassing poem.
After a while, Xu Shuo put away the medicine box and said with a smile: "I heard that you have traveled to many places and are a famous poet. You are really awesome."
The traveling poet twitched his lips: "That's ridiculous."
He looked at the girl packing her things and quickly changed the subject: "Those things... I mean the guards in the castle, they don't look like normal people. Are they some kind of mechanical device?"
"Well, I'm not sure about that either."
Xu Shuo frowned slightly: "They existed a long time ago. In short, as long as no one walks around the castle at night, they will not be alarmed and cause an attack."
"So that's it. Qilis, do you know the legend of Prague?" the traveling poet said suddenly.
"The legend of Prague?" Xu Shuo tilted his head to show his curiosity.
The pair of amber eyes stared closely at the girl in front of him. The traveling poet said seriously: "Yes, legend has it that a knight came to Prague a long time ago. He was attracted by the princess living in the castle, and the two lived happily ever after.
Living together.”
"..."
"..."
"...Just, is it over?"
The traveling poet paused after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then nodded seriously: "Well, that's it."
Xu Shuo: "..."
Children's bedtime reading is not as fast as yours.
He smiled awkwardly but politely: "This is the legend of Prague? Does the princess also like knights very much? If so, they should be very happy."
The traveling poet narrowed his eyes: "No, the princess doesn't like the knight."
Xu Shuo's eyes moved slightly.
The person in front of him still looked at him calmly and continued: "The knight threatened the princess that if she did not marry him, the knights of the Holy See would destroy the castle. For the sake of Prague, the princess could only agree to marry him."
Xu Shuo blinked, and then said: "Then the princess and the knight can't possibly be happy together."
"Well, you are right. So after the princess deceived the knight into the castle, she also eliminated the knight army that followed." The traveling poet said in a serious tone.
"Alex...I think this story doesn't sound very good."
The traveling poet was slightly startled, and saw that the girl's expression suddenly became serious.
She said: "I think it should be changed to 'The knight and the princess living in the castle fell in love at first sight, and they lived happily together without anyone disturbing them'."
After finishing speaking, the girl opened her black eyes wide and looked at him without blinking, as if she was waiting for a response.
The traveling poet curled his lips slightly: "Well, you're right."
…
However, those monsters with only armor patrolling the Prague Castle at night are indeed the Knights of the Holy See who were buried here.
And that badge on his hand.
In fact, it is the honor certificate of the Holy See Knight.
